CAC POLL: Firearms and the Constitution

CAC worked with the Mellman Group to conduct a national survey of 1,000 registered voters from September 19-24, 2017. Margin of error of the survey is +/- 3.1%. One of the survey topics we explored was voters’ attitudes toward firearms and whether the Constitution permits their regulation to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people.
